If Joe Home User has a rogue device spewing RA's, he probably has a bigger problem than just not having RA Guard enabled. He either has a badly misconfigured router (and one that's disobeying the mandate to not RA if you don't have an uplink), or he has a compromised malicious host. In either case, he's got bigger fish to fry.
